Set your phone to vibrate and face down on the table.<br>* If you are talking on your mobile phone while the checkout clerk is ringing up your food items at the grocery store, you are automatically despised by the aforementioned clerk, as well as everyone else in line behind you.<br>* If you choose to take a call in a public place, and slouch down lower in your chair to “have a more private” conversation, your efforts will be futile; we can still hear your conversation, because we’re still two. feet. away. from. you.

The customer owes $12.22, they give me a $20 bill, and I hand them their change, then dollars, saying, “78 cents makes thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and Twenty.” *sigh*<br>* * *<br>Purpose Built History: MN Strap<br><br>Monochrome has an article on the back history: <a href="https://monochrome-watches.com/strap-review-cool-marine-nationale-strap-erikasoriginals-perfect-dive-watches/" rel="noopener">https://monochrome-watches.com/strap-review-cool-marine-nationale-strap-erikasoriginals-perfect-dive-watches/</a><br><br>* “ The relation between French Navy...
